Tennis Warehouse-Mid Atlantic Chapter

It's our turn! Thanks to Drak's thread, and since there are so many of us in the greater DC metropolitan area, let's set up a Mid Atlantic Chapter!

I have counted at least about 5-6 of us who are in MD, DC, or VA, so that's definitely enough. In fact, I am meeting up with a forum member today(wed) after work if weather permits. So, please just reply with your interest, and we can gather e-mails and such later on. Thank you

Thanks for the invite. I'll think about it, especially if the meeting is in the district and not in some helicopter location and the photos posted here are nice. And by the way, I think there's way more than 5 or 6, probably more like 50 or 60 here, if you pay attention...

well heck, if there's 50 of us the chapter needs to get organized! i guess the meeting will be determined by vote...if we have 50 though we can do like 3 locations or something: one in MD, one in DC and one in VA. or somewhere metro assesible. wanna be my secretary and keep track how many and where everyone is?

Just want to let you guys know that i met up with MrHan last night for a hit. we only hit around for like an hour but it was great fun, by far one of the better hitting sessions i had in a very long time. if you are wondering, MrHan is super good. thats an understatement by the way. i dare say he can beat 50% of all of us easily. anyways, when you come to the chapter meet you can see for yourself so sign up today! limited spots left!

What's the number in terms of sign ups so far? Also, in case we need to find tennis courts. Here are some 200 listed. If all fails, I am also a member of the Reston Association and can get guest passes. We have 26 lighted tennis courts for Reston.

thank you MrHan for providing the links. unfortunately, not too many have signed up! come on zhan! and i know there is more of us in the mid atlantic region here. SoBad you need to come out too! you might be disappointed with my game at the meet, but let me tell you you will NOT be bored hitting with MrHan.

I've been reading these message boards for a long time, so by now I’ve learned that Breakpoint knows everything about Wilson 6.0, and NoBadMojo prefers Volkl. Since both give great advice, I now play with both a 6.0 95 and a C10 Pro 98 (the latter in part due to Skraggle’s influence).

But the reason I joined today is due to Zapvor’s great initiative in creating the Mid-Atlantic chapter. Since the Miami chapter found such lush surroundings to play and photograph, maybe we could live up to the photographic challenge by meeting at the Haines Point courts, right on the water, surrounded by a golf course – and the Washington monuments. They’re also centrally located for Mid-Atlantic members from Virginia and Maryland.

Hey zapvor, I got your e-mail today. I apologize, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to play this coming Monday. My family's moving to Fairfax city within a week, so we're pretty busy packing, etc. Other than that, I'm happy to see members signing up for the meeting. I have TennisGuy's AIM screen name but he has not signed on since last month. Besides him, I know two other members on this board that live around here, so I'll try to contact them and ask them if they're interested.

EDIT: I see that JRstriker found out about this thread just now! Ok, so i have one more guy who might be interested in joining us, but he's away for college until next week.

well within the last few hours looks like everyone is signing up! i want to thank all of you for replying and expressing interest. apparently some of you already know each other, so you guys have got the connections, not i haha.

as of now i would like to shoot for monday since i will be in vienna then(i live in MD) and can hit around after work at 6;30ish. for those of you who like to do monday drop me an email and we can decide on exact logistics. for those who cant do monday, i will be sending out a Chapter email probably tomorrow or sunday and we can all vote on days and times,etc. I am super excited guys!

edit: actually, as soon as i get everyone email i will try to set up the listserv. start practicing! i would like to meet next week, so try to free up a day (and cancel raquetball as needed )

I would hit with you, but I'm pretty don't have a raquet right now, and I've been super busy and it looks like its not clearing up any time soon. I know Bette (ilovecarlos) is from this area too, maybe she'd be interested?
